Artist Statement

HOME - Artist Statement
I am a sculptor working in a range of materials including wood, stone, marble, bone and metals. I fabricate my works including bronze casting, working from my rural studio which is fitted out with a foundry. The process of fabrication is integral to my sculpting practice, with experimentation informing the resolved works. My work stems from an idea or concern, often responding to the human condition. Using metaphors and symbols my works are abstractions of reality, a visual attempt to process the world. This embedded message remains the primary importance to my practice, from which materiality evolves.
This materiality is informed by the practicality and feasibility of fabrication, all of which is resolved in my studio.
